provides that the county funds be
banked with local bank, and vester-
day the bank of J. V. Brinkman q
Co., was made the depository of Bar

Our live grocer, w. H. H. Keeney
paid SO in cash premiums for the
best 10 pounds of butter exhibited at

erts of south of the river, the second

butter ever made in Kansas was on ex-
hibition, and Mr.. Keeney deserves
great credit for his liberal offer and
the promptness with which the prem
iums are paid.
